are dozens of different styles to choose from. They can cost very little
compared to a real rifle. The cost of ammo and the inconvience of driving
to a shooting range makes an airsoft gun a great alternative.

home or backyard. They even have the same size and weight.

were prohibited by Japanese law. It then spread to China, Philippines,
South Korea and later the United States of America. Today it
has become a thriving hobby and the enthusiasts can check out

Gas Guns Require the use of some kind of gas propellant (Click Here for Gas Refill Canister). The gas is stored in the gas chamber, usually in the magazine or clip.
"Non-blowback" Gas Guns A non-blowback (NBB), the gas only serves as pushing the bb forward. Also, the slide is in the fixed position.
